That's in Canada. Nothing rots out in Cali, Texas or Florida. That's a crazy kit but 5K is more than ours cars are worth, lol.

Stroker kit with boost'd be kinda a waste of money. Wanna go faster? Turn up the boost. Not that I wouldn't do it if money were no object of course. Cuz then, like, it'd be a 2.1l, and I'd still wanna go faster, and turn up the boost....'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and

*Someone* on this board shouldoughtta be loaded enough and stooopid enough to buy this and boost it.
or not. Thinning out the block by 4mm and adding pressure sounds like a good way to experience cylinder wall flex. Guess I'll stick with the whole wanna go faster-turn up the boost thing.

I dont think you would end up with cylinder wall flex... We are not working with flimsy aluminum honda blocks. I have 85 mm toda pistons and there is still plenty of meat on my block... All that said all I would have to do is buy there crank for like $3800. I wonder if I could find a machine shop that would be willing to machine a spare one for less than that?

Here's FlyinMiata's version.
85mm in these engines I think is pretty close to the limit with boost. We're going 1.5mm over with the rallycar rebuild.
I think I'd rather have that billet crank than a machined-from-stock, just in case, especially if I was going with forced induction. That said I'd be curious about that other option you mention.
Wasn't there a Miata with this stroker kit that was putting down 600+ hp before he twisted the chassis into a pretzel?'90 AWD Protege, full GTR drivetrain swap, ~320 whp daily driver, RIP, and

For a turbo car your right billet all the way both kits look way over built for just running n/a. I dont see why you couldnt run the stock rods a machined crank, 85 mm pistons I would think it could take 230 crank hp all day.]Comment

With the same amount for that kit you could run x2 the horsepower via a turbo-charged BP.... You could get a close to bulletproof engine for $2000, then $2800 for a turbo kit....
That would be like 460whp easy!

I'm already in for a little over $4k
and still under 200 whp. I didnt do my build because I wanted the most hp at the time I thought I was the only one of my kind. Now i know better but I think kits like these are for people who are trying to get the most hp out of a bp, weather it be n/a or turbo.
